This 9-mile (14-km) huge, peaceful sandy beach attracts visitors from all over USA. The picturesque attractiveness of the headlands onshore and sea stacks offshore can make your leisurely walk down the sand memorable. You can enjoy flying a kite, watching the sea creatures, or shoot the famous Haystack Rock. The main moments of enjoyment come from relaxing on the peaceful beach, which you will never forget.
The arts are the main attractions on Cannon Beach. The best crafted material and shopping galleries can be noticed here. The city is organized in a way that you can enjoy strolling, the quaint bookstores, bistros, and shops. Strict management and regulations have assisted Cannon Beach in retaining its ground toned, rustic look.
It was named as Cannon Beach as cannon was discovered here on the beach. Once, a ‘U.S. Navy schooner Shark’ was ruined when attempting to depart the Columbia River. A big piece of the deck with cannon washed up on the beach that time and that is why the name of the town is based on this occurrence.
Haystack Rock, another beautiful attraction is located on the Cannon Beach.
It is 235 feet (71m) high, and is the third biggest seaside monolith in the world. Haystack Rock is under protection by the government and is chosen as the National Wilderness Area. It is located on the northern coast of Oregon.
In addition, it is a habitat of the sea bird.
Haystack Rock will give you every possible opportunity to watch all kinds of amazing marine wildlife. So, do not forget to watch all this if you plan to come here.
